Anyone knows that when you’re competing for a job, you have to show that you’re willing to go that extra mile. When that job is a role in Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, that extra mile, at least for Shia Labeouf, was sending the director his sex types. Because, to be clear, Shia LaBeouf sent Lars Von Trier tapes of himself having sex with his girlfriend.

Shia LaBeouf sent “sex tapes” to director Lars von Trier to get his role in ‘Nymphomaniac’.
The 26-year-old actor claims he showcased a different aspect of his talents to the filmmaker by sending him intimate footage of himself and his girlfriend in order to land a role in the forthcoming movie, which is expected to include scenes of real sex.
Speaking on ‘Chelsea Lately’, he said: “I don’t know what it’s gonna be until I get out there.
“I know he’s a very dangerous director, I know we’re trying to do something different. It’s not your typical film. It’s about what it’s about.
“I sent him videotapes of me and my girlfriend having sex and that’s how I got the job.”
Shia has previously said Lars will make the cast do everything “for real” in the movie, and anything too explicit will be “blurred”. [femalefirst.UK]

Wow. Well let this be a lesson to you, that’s how you show initiative. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Or undress, as it were. I’m just happy that after all that, Shia ended up getting the job. No one talks about how Crispin Glover let a talking fox chew his dick off and still didn’t get cast. Luckily it grew back, but still.

In his published diary from the shooting of The Idiots, he spends quite some time lamenting the state of his ‘poor cock’ after he’d pretty much rubbed himself raw, so yeah, I think we can take that as read.

His girlfriend must be pretty laid back. “What’s that, honey? You want to tape us boning down and send it to some European prevert so that he’ll film you having sex with other women? Of course, dear, just let me finish making these sandwiches and we can show off all your best moves.”

“I sent him videotapes of me and my girlfriend having sex and that’s how I got the job.”

“You know, my totally real girlfriend. The one who isn’t around right now, because she like, lives in Canada. Yeah, that’s it! She’s home in Canada for the summer. But she’s real for sure, not just in my imagination or anything.”

You sir are a douche…bag. My favorite quote is “We’re trying to do something different.” Oh…oh excuse me…I wasn’t aware you were also the writer and director along with Mr. Von Trier. “We’re…WE’RE” Are you farking kidding me? Well I guess if you go around thinking your king sh*t – though based on nothing – eventually Hollywood will come to believe it. Me? I think he’s a mediocre douche bag of an actor. (I’ll be funny another time. I just really hast this assh++e!)
